If I am looping through i,v in pairs in a table and want to compare v to all the remaining v s how do I write a sub loop that begins with the next item in the table and goes to the end?

Do you mean
pairs or
ipairs? If the latter:
Code: Select all
for i, v in ipairs(t) do
for j = i + 1, #t do
-- do your thing with i, v, j and t[j]
end
end

I could make it ipairs. Thanks Robin
